What does this go toward?

A message from Trader Sam:

Remember that for the past 15+ years, the Disney Experience has been all done by one person: me.

Because I have to put forth the majority of the costs from my own pocket, I have to use a good portion of my time earning the extra money that keeps this website going. That gives me less time to spend creating content for you. But, with your help, I can shift my focus from working to creating and doing cool new things!

I would really like to make the monthly giveaways a truly monthly event as the name suggests. And, I would like to create more Disney Experience branded donation gifts (t-shirts? buttons? magnets? postcards? pens?). But, the donations have never been at a level where I could do that. I have to set money aside a little bit at a time to get stuff like that, but, often, it ends up covering maintenance costs.

I deeply appreciate all of your donations, and I thank all of you who have helped support the Disney Experience over the years. Some of you have been very generous, and it's been unbelievable.
